Re: system date != now()

timezone in postgresql.conf was set to MST. Setting it
to MDT gave this error:

LOG: unrecognized time zone name: "MDT"
FATAL: invalid value for parameter "timezone": "MDT"

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/datetime-keywords.html#DATETIME-TIMEZONE-TABLE
(MDT is listed there)

Anyhow, I commented out "timezone" and the time is
correct now.
